What about Bernie Larkham?

What is the chance that Peter Fitzsimons turns up in their team? Or his wife, as she is already at 9.

Re-captains, one would think that the Rebels wouldn't want too many "captains" and consequent leadership issues like the Brumbies seemed to have last year with their plethora of captains/ leaders (and what is the collective noun for captains - where is Hugh Jarse when required??). Though I...

From the Oz. Nothing in the SMH, but not that is not surprising. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/rocky-elsom-battling-injury-woes/story-e6frg7o6-1225979260321

What about a space for Michael Gee - though 5,000 years old isn't he still playing for Warringah?

And getting engaged to Zara Phillips?? Not bad for an ugly guy.....

The thing Richie would need to consider is injury. He has been pretty much injury free so far, but he would be of the age where injuries would tend to accumulate and linger. He is such a player that his style of play wouldn't be as affected to the same extent as mere mortals, but the amount of...

And they are hosting the World Cup next year. We might go on about recent shenanigans about how some countries has just been given some forthcoming Football World Cups, but we will probably see better host sportsmanship shown than some of our kiwi brothers. At the very least no enthusiastic...

One thing about the Shute Shield re coverage was that the ABC did a good job of it this year. The Saturday afternoon games were quality viewing. The technical side of the coverage was faultless; far more enjoyable than some of the antiseptic, lifeless camera work etc of some of the more...

Haven't the Brumbies also got the Australian 2009 Schoolboy half-back Strizaker as well?

Super Rugby.... Only 73 days to go until it starts! Enough of these summer distractions!!

Aren't the Leaguies in full flight contemplating and pondering what antic one of their mob is going attempt to be the next media extravagance of "The Greatest Game of All". I mean, by lowering the bar constantly, they have quite a high level to which to aspire.

Many thanks...it looks good. I will give it a go.

A 6.30 Sunday morning start. Migt have to get up a bit earlier to get the bacon and egg rolls ready. Or, due to it being a game against the Frogs, a few croque monsieurs, croissants with a nice apricot jam and some freshly brewed coffee. Perhaps a bottle of the bubbly - that seems to be the...

And it will be the last game televised by Channel 10 for a while..... I think the main thing for us is that we seem to have it over the Fench mentally recently...or did. And we upset their discipline...though the French can easil do that for themselves. The current set of Wallbies seem not...

Another game from that era that was quite memorable was Eale's last game...against the AB's and won on the bell by Kefu.

Partially agree, but I don't think having a tiered competition is the way to go. There has to be a balance, but also we don't want to see the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker. I think that has what has partially happened in the CHS with the various selective schools. But we...

I think it would be great for the schools Rugby season to be increased and the competition for all schools to be more inclusive. Though I can't see that happening, timing issues to start with and also various school organizations not wishing to have vested interests diminished. Also I don't...

Things change. Once upon a time, GPS was undoubtedly the premier Rugby competition and system, and it still is. However, the difference is not quite as strong these days. And, the CAS Rugby competition has evolved into a vibrant thing recently with a home and away. The GPS has evolved into...

As an aside to what Barbarian says re the scheduling, the current home and away also limits the opportunity for the schools to play other schools outside the CAS. Which is a bit of a pity. In many ways the scheduling/ timing of things seemed to be better when there were three terms rather than...
